American comics: I gradually replicate everything

Van Ken laughed.

How many lessons can a set of boxing techniques teach a person?

Actually, Master, with your experience, you should be able to figure out such a simple truth.

But your mind is even more confused.

Are those old stories from twenty years ago starting to resurface and stir up your mind again?

Facing the imminent return of the dragon, you lost your composure, became overly worried and anxious, and were unable to think calmly.

Master Raccoon was taken aback when he realized what was going on in his mind. A hint of unease flashed across his face, and he said with some annoyance.

Why do you think I'm in such a hurry?

You're just like Master Oogway!

When faced with a formidable enemy and a life-or-death situation, yet still acting slow and unhurried, is the most infuriating thing!

Even people who weren't in a hurry have gotten so angry because of you guys!

Van Can raised an eyebrow, with a hint of mockery.

"Oh? Master Oogway is gone. You've finally spoken your mind about him, the truth you sometimes dared not say?"

Master Raccoon immediately denied it: "I...I didn't!"

"You have."

"I don't!"

Master Raccoon looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"It clearly exists..."

Absolutely not!

"Don't talk nonsense, you monkey!"

The two of them bickered as they walked down the mountain, exchanging words back and forth.

Ah Bao, who was following behind, had a rumbling stomach and was thinking about what to eat later.

This banter actually lightened the atmosphere considerably and eased the tension between Master Raccoon and Van Can.

At least a crack appeared in Master Raccoon's hard shell, revealing some of his truer nature beneath as he faced Van Can.

……

Back at the Jade Emperor Palace, Van Ken asked Ah Bao to order noodles from his family's restaurant for him.

Heike Noodle Restaurant offers delivery service.

Not long after, the gates of the Jade Emperor Palace opened again.

Abao came in carrying a food box, followed by a short, apron-wearing, excited old goose father and a pig painter carrying a drawing board.

Abao was a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Vancan, this is my dad."

He was so excited when he heard that the Dragon Warrior wanted to eat our noodles. He said he absolutely had to see you in person, and also…”

Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Goose squeezed forward, interrupted him, and bowed and scraped to Van Can, his face beaming with joy.

"You must be the new Dragon Warrior!"

Wow, he's truly valiant and extraordinary!

These noodles are made using a secret family recipe passed down through generations. They are a specialty of Heping Valley, incredibly delicious, and a must-try!

"Try it, you have excellent taste!"

As he spoke, he deftly opened the food box, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.

Van Ken smiled amicably: "I've heard for a long time that the noodles at Heike Noodle Shop are delicious, and today I finally get to try them."

Ah Bao felt a little embarrassed by his father's overly attentive manner.

In addition, the thought of what Old Man Goose was going to do next made him wish he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Old Man Goose is very talkative, he keeps rambling on and on.

Van Can didn't seem to think anything of it.

He had a good impression of Papa Goose, who, despite being a shrewd and talkative man, was kind-hearted.

Originally, Mr. Goose ran a family-run noodle shop and lived a comfortable life. He found an abandoned panda baby who was actually unrelated to him, but he was willing to treat him as his own child and raise him with great difficulty. He is still single to this day, and you can imagine the hardships he has endured.

Just look at how old Goose Daddy, who used to wear expensive silk clothes, is now dressed in patched coarse cloth.

"As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home, let alone Po, who is a fat panda with an extraordinary appetite."

"Thank you so much, it's really kind of you to bring me a bowl of noodles personally."

Van Cann extended his hand and shook hands with the excited old man.

Old Man Goose was utterly flattered; being able to shake hands with the Dragon Warrior was something he could brag about for years to come!

Just then, Van Can noticed that the artist behind Po and Daddy Goose had 'captured' this moment.

He sketched on the canvas at lightning speed, capturing the vivid scene of Van Can and Father Goose shaking hands in almost a second or two.

"What... what is this?"

Van Cane was taken aback, thinking of those tricks used to shake hands with celebrities and get photos taken with them.

He had seen the artist long ago, and now he understood why Old Man Goose had brought him along.

He never expected that one day it would be his turn, especially in such an ancient world.

Old Man Goose chuckled, a little embarrassed but mostly proud.

"The Dragon Hero has come from afar. Although he is not a local, he knows how delicious the noodles at my Pingjia Noodle Shop are. This is really exciting!"

I...I want to keep it as a memento.

"Okay... alright."

Van Kent was both amused and exasperated.

The food box was opened, and steaming hot noodles were served, emitting a wonderful aroma.

Van Ken picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The taste was indeed good; the broth was rich and the noodles were chewy.

Click, no, it was a swish sound that rang out again.

Vancan looked up and saw that the artist had quickly completed another sketch, depicting him eating noodles.

"What... what is this again?"

Old Man Goose held the freshly painted picture as if it were a priceless treasure, his eyes shining brightly.

"well!

The title of this painting is "The Dragon Warrior is Eating Noodles"!

If I told outsiders that the Dragon Warrior specifically requested to eat my family's noodles, they probably wouldn't believe me!

With this painting as evidence, let's see who dares to say I'm bragging!

He seemed to already see a bright future with a constant stream of customers, and he happily murmured to himself while holding the painting.

"My God, who would believe this if they heard it out loud!"

The first thing the new Dragon Warrior did after taking office was to specifically request noodles from my Ping Family Restaurant!

My dad, Ah Ping... he's really going to make a fortune this time!

"..."

Seeing how ridiculous Daddy Goose was, Van Cane facepalmed.

"Dad, let's hurry up and go. Don't disturb Van Can's meal. As the Dragon Warrior, he has a lot of things to take care of!"

Ah Bao felt his face burning up, and forgetting everything else, he quickly pushed and pulled.

They pushed the goose daddy, who was still dreaming of getting rich, and the artist with amazing hand speed out of the Jade Emperor Palace gate, while giving Van Ken an apologetic look.

"Vancan, you eat, you eat, we're leaving now."

"Don't push me, Ah Bao!"

The Dragon Warrior is eating our noodles! We must take lots of pictures of him!

And most importantly, I haven't even recorded the Dragon Warrior's (a character from a popular Chinese TV series) comments about how delicious our noodles are!

With a bang, the heavy gates of the Jade Emperor Palace slammed shut, finally cutting off the sounds from the outside.

Abao probably feared that his father would still come back to bother him, so he simply escorted his father down the mountain back to the noodle shop himself.

Van Ken smiled and shook his head.

He quickly finished the steaming bowl of noodles in front of him.

The taste was indeed excellent; the soup was flavorful and the noodles were chewy. In Hepinggu, it was definitely a delicacy.

After finishing his dinner, Van Ken stood up.

Po said he had a lot to deal with as the Dragon Warrior, but actually... he didn't really have anything urgent to deal with.

His gaze swept over the ancient weapons and armor displayed in the hall, finally settling on the smooth, mirror-like jade floor in the center of the hall.

Perfect timing, let's do some exercise after dinner.

"Let's also try out today's most important discovery—Tai Chi, a unique skill created by Master Oogway in his later years!"

Van Can's eyes lit up. He got up and went to the spacious Jade Emperor Palace. He stood between the huge jade pillars, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, and began to practice Tai Chi.
